FOREWORD 

REFLECTING not long ago that this year would 
• mark the fifteenth anniversary of the estabHsh- 
ment of Alpha- Phi Chapter of the Kappa Sigma Fra- 
ternity, I began to recall the history of the Chapter 
during this time. While it is a comparatively short 
period of time and Alpha-Phi yet remains the young- 
est national Fraternity at Bucknell, yet so much has 
transpired in the history of the Chapter and of the 
Institution itself in that brief decade and a half that 
I was constrained to write out for my own entertain- 
ment and instruction a few of the more salient fea- 
tures. I found and recalled so much of interest and 
so many things in which the Chapter may take a 
pardonable pride, and which by reason of no record 
being kept was in danger of becoming lost, that the 
idea occurred to me of publishing the brief sketches 
I had written, on the occasion of this, our fifteenth 
anniversary. I, therefore, offer these slight sketches, 
written with no pretense of literary style, setting forth 
a few of the more striking features of Alpha-Phi*s 
progress. I do not offer them as a complete history 
but rather as data from which at some future time 
and by more capable hands a better History may be 
compiled. 

There are two facts I wish to state in connection 
with this History. Firstly, that this is not an "author- 

ix 



ized version," but the following sketches were pre- 
pared by me and are published by me entirely upon 
my own responsibility and that, therefore, any state- 
ments or mis-statements appearing therein, I, alone, 
am answerable for. And secondly, that I am pub- 
lishing this History entirely at my own expense, that 
it may not be thought that I have accepted any money 
from the Chapter to carry out an entirely private and 
unauthorized enterprise. If these sketches shall give 
any pleasure to the Alumni of Alpha-Phi or serve 
in any degree to cement a firmer bond of union be- 
tween the Alumni and the active Chapter, or to in- 
still in the active Chapter a sense of pride in the 
achievements of the Chapter to which they belong, 
I shall feel many times repaid for whatever of time 
or means may have been expended by me upon this 
work. 

As to the cuts which appear in this book. The 
cut of Bucknell University was made from the very 
excellent painting by the New York artist, Richard 
Rummell, in 1907. The cut of the Phi Epsilon 
society for the school year 1895-6 is the nearest ap- 
proach to being a picture of the Charter Members of 
Alpha-Phi Chapter that exists. No picture of the 
Charter Members as such was ever taken. In the 
cut referred to appears a picture of one who never 
became a Kappa Sigma, although he was one of its 
most enthusiastic and influential supporters while in 
College. I refer to George Tilden Ritter^ a member 
of the Class of '98, who entered Bucknell from 
Lafayette College, where he had been initiated into 



the Chi Phi Fraternity. As no Chapter of Chi Phi 
existed at Bucknell he identified himself with the local 
society, Phi Epsilon, for which he hoped to secure a 
Charter from Chi Phi. The opportunity presented 
itself, however, of getting a Charter from the Kappa 
Sigma Fraternity without further delay and he with- 
drew from the membership when the new Chapter was 
founded. He was of very great assistance to Alpha- 
Phi in her early years and is now a successful physi- 
cian in Williamsport, Pa. The cut of the school 
year 1898-9, shows the smallest Chapter Alpha-Phi 
ever had. The cuts for the years 1903-4, 1907-8 and 
1908-9 show three of its most representative Chap- 
ters, the last cut also showing the Loving Cup won by 
the Chapter at the Denver Conclave. The final cut 
shows the present Chapter. 

I acknowledge my indebtedness to all the brothers 
who assisted me in any manner in the preparation 
of this History. I wish to acknowledge my special 
indebtedness to Bro. Allan Gerald Ritter, '09, who 
was untiring in procuring information for me relative 
to various members and who has ever been one of 
the most loyal and enthusiastic members of Alpha- 
Phi Chapter and of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. 
I am also very grateful to that greatest of all Fra- 
ternity workers — Bro. Herbert M. Martin, Worthy 
Grand Scribe of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity, for 
his kindly suggestions and criticism of the work.

BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY. 

IN the year 1845 the Baptist Association of 
Northumberland, Pennsylvania, resolved that "it 
is highly desirable that a literary institution should 
be established in Central Pennsylvania, embracing a 
high school for male pupils, another for females, a 
college, and a theological institution." Prof. Stephen 
W. Taylor, late of Madison University, was ap- 
pointed General Agent, and in accordance with an 
Act passed by the Legislature of the Commonwealth 
of Pennsylvania and approved by Governor Francis 
R. Shunk on the fifth day of February, 1846, the 
University at Lewisburg, as it was called in the Char- 
ter, was incorporated with full university privileges. 

School was opened on the fifth day of October of 
the same year in the basement of the First Baptist 
Church of Lewisburg. Two years later the Academy 
Building, the first to be erected, was completed. 
After heroic effort on the part of the founders the 
one hundred thousand dollars required by the Char- 
ter was raised in 1849. Thomas U. Walter, 
LL.D., the architect of the Capitol at Washington, 
aided the enterprise by selecting a site for and plan- 
ning the Main College Building, which was erected 
the following year. 

Dr. Taylor then resigned and Howard Malcolm, 
D.D., LL.D., who had been the President of 
Georgetown College, in Kentucky, was made the first 



official President in 1 85 1 . In the same year, upon 
the motion of Hon. James Buchanan, LL.D., after- 
ward President of the United States, and at that 
time a member of the Board, degrees were conferred 
upon the first class presented for graduation, seven in 
number. This first Commencement was held August 
20, 1851. About 1856 Commencement was changed 
to the third week of July and the twentieth Com- 
mencement in 1870 was finally changed to the last 
week of June, since which time it has always been 
held in the latter part of June. The Euepia and 
Theta Alpha Literary Societies were also etabHshed 
in the year 1 85 1 . 

In 1854 a Theological Department was added, of 
which the Rev. Thomas F. Curtis, A.M., was called 
to be Principal. This continued in a prosperous con- 
dition until 1868, when it was removed to Upland, 
Pennsylvania, where it is now the well known Crozer 
Theological Seminary. The most friendly relations 
exist between it and the University. 

Dr. Malcolm resigned in 1 85 7 and the Rev. Jus- 
tin R. Loomis, Ph.D., LL.D., of Brown University, 
became President and held that office for twenty- 
one years. Through his efforts in 1857 seventy-five 
thousand dollars was raised for buildings, and in 
1864, although the times were hard, one hundred 
thousand dollars more was added to the endowment. 
Not only did Dr. Loomis render a great service to the 
institution by establishing it on a firm financial basis, but 
when in 1863 Lee was pushing toward Gettysburg, 
2 



thinking that patriotism could better be taught by ex- 
ample than by precept, in the capacity of Chaplain 
he accompanied a band of students, among whom 
was Dr. Harris, now President of the University, to 
defend his native State. This company was mus- 
tered out after about six weeks service, July 27, 
1 863. They arrived home upon Commencement Day, 
and marching straight from the ferry to Commence- 
ment Hall, without taking time to wash or change 
clothing, but travel-stained and clad in soldiers' garb, 
ascended the stage, where the Seniors among their 
number took part in the exercises and received their 
diplomas. 

In 1878 Dr. Loomis resigned and the following 
year Hon. David Jayne Hill, LL.D., late Ambassador 
to Germany, was selected to fill the vacancy. Wil- 
liam Bucknell now became interested in the success 
of the University and contributed fifty thousand dol- 
lars, which was soon increased to one hundred thou- 
sand dollars through the liberality of other friends. 
The management of the institution was entrusted to a 
Board of Trustees, not exceeding twenty-five in num- 
ber. These Trustees, thinking that the name of the 
institution was not explicit enough, in 1886 changed 
it to Bucknell University in honor of the man who 
gave upwards of three hundred thousand dollars to it. 

In 1888 Dr. Hill resigned and in May of the fol- 
lowing year Dr. John Howard Harris, Ph.D., LL.D., 
was chosen to succeed him. During the twenty-two 
years that he has been at the head of the University, 
which is the longest period that any man has held 



the Presidency, it has made rapid progress in every 
line. He is loved and honored by all, and it is to 
be hoped that he may be able to continue many years 
more in that capacity. 

Bucknell University at the present time consists of 
a College, an Academy for Boys, an Institute for 
Ladies and a School of Music. The students in the 
various departments number over seven hundred, of 
whom five hundred and twenty-seven are in the Col- 
lege department. There are forty-eight Professors 
and Instructors, many of whom are famous through- 
out the College world, not only as teachers but as 
authors and for services in public capacities as well. 

The property of the University consists of a beauti- 
ful campus of twenty-six acres and sixteen buildings 
as follows : ( 1 ) The Main College Building, which 
is built of brick and in the Grecian style. It has a 
facade of three hundred and twenty feet. The cen- 
tral portion, containing recitation rooms, the halls of 
the hterary societies, and the Museum of Natural 
History, is eighty feet square. The wings on either 
side are one hundred and twenty feet in length and 
four stories high and are used for students' rooms. 
(2) The West College, a brick building, trimmed 
with brownstone, and four stories in height, erected 
in 1 900. It contains the hall of the Y. M. C. A. 
and the rest of the building is devoted to a Dormi- 
tory for the students. (3) The East College, con- 
structed in a similar manner to West College and 
aside from an Electrical Laboratory used as a Dormi- 
tory building. (4) Bucknell Hall, the Chapel of 



the University. (5) Bucknell Observatory, erected 
in 1887 and equipped v^ith all the latest improvements. 
(6) The Bucknell Chemical Laboratory, erected in 
1890 and one of the finest buildings for its purpose 
in the State. (7) The Physical Laboratory, erected 
in 1902, a brick structure, trimmed with brownstone. 
(8) The Tustin Gymnasium, erected in 1 890 and 
finely equipped. (9) The Carnegie Library, a hand- 
some building given by Andrew Carnegie in 1905. 
It is built of pressed brick, trimmed with brownstone, 
and will accommodate one hundred and fifty thou- 
sand volumes. It contains at present over thirty thou- 
sand volumes. (10, 11) The Academy Buildings, 
consisting of the main building and the Bucknell Cot- 
tage for young men. (12, 13, 14 and 15) Four 
Institute Buildings. (16) The President's House. 

The fixed and working capital of the University 
is considerably in excess of one million dollars. It 
has the largest endowment fund of any denominational 
school in Pennsylvania. In excellence of instruction 
Bucknell ranks among the foremost colleges in the 
country. Her classical course is second to none. The 
courses offered are a Classical Course, a Latin or 
Greek Philosophical Course, a General Science 
Course, Courses in Biology and Chemistry, and 
Courses in Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineer- 
ing. Electives begin with the first term of the Sopho- 
more year and continue during the remainder of the 
course. Considerably more than one hundred elec- 
tives are offered the last three years and numerous 
honor studies throughout nearly the entire course.

The institution is co-educational. There are, how- 
ever, less than one hundred women in the College 
Department. The first woman graduate of Bucknell 
University was Miss Chella Scott of the Class of 
1885. 

In athletics Bucknell has always maintained a 
prominent position. The fame of her athletes has 
spread across the continent. In foot- fall she has pro- 
duced such stars as Wolf, Jennings, Cober, Sweet, 
Jenkinson, Catterall, Matthewson, McCormick, John- 
son, Cockill, O'Brien and scores of others. In base- 
ball she has probably been represented by more men 
who afterwards won fame in the big leagues than any 
other College in the country. In this list may be men- 
tioned: Matthewson and McCormick, of the New 
York Nationals ; Daniels and Blair, of the New York 
Americans; Doolin, Captain of the Philadelphia Na- 
tionals; Sebring, late of the Pittsburg Nationals; Bar- 
clay, formerly of the St. Louis Nationals; Smith, 
formerly of the Washington Americans; Nattress and 
Weidensaul, of the Eastern League; Cockill, formerly 
of the Detroit Americans and the past season Captain 
of the champion Reading Tri-State team; Northrup, 
premier pitcher of the Tri-State the past season and 
now of the Chicago Nationals; and the two Clarks, 
of Altoona and Johnstown, respectively, of the Tri- 
State League, the former now of the St. Louis Na- 
tionals. In basket-ball she has always had victorious 
teams, having several times defeated Cornell and the 
University of Pennsylvania, as well as most of the 
other Colleges she has met. In track athletics her 



relay teams have rqjeatedly won the cup in the annual 
relay races on Franklin Field held under the auspices 
of the University of Pennsylvania. 

There are five general Fraternities at Bucknell for 
men which, naming them in the order their Chapters 
were established, are Phi Kappa Psi (1855), Sigma 
Chi (1864), Phi Gamma Delta (1882), Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon (1893), and Kappa Sigma (1896), 
and two general Fraternities for women. Pi Beta 
Phi (1895), and Delta Delta Delta (1904). There 
is also one class Fraternity, Theta Delta Tau (1895) 
and several local Fraternities. 

The Orange and Blue is the periodical published 
weekly by the students to chronicle the news of the 
University. A paper called the Commencement Neips 
is published daily during Commencement Week. The 
Bucknell Mirror was a literary monthly published for 
several years but it has recently ceased publication. 
L' Agenda is the annual published by the Junior Class. 

There are numerous other organizations, such as 
the Law, Medical, Press, Engineering, and Musical 
Clubs. 

In nearly every vocation Bucknell has sons who 
have won honor for themselves and their Alma Mater. 
In official Hfe she has the Hon. David Jayne Hill, 
LL.D., late Ambassador to Germany, and Brigadier- 
General Tasker H. Bliss, of the United States Army. 
In the pulpit, she has the Rev. T. A. K. Gessler, 
D.D., and Frank M. Goodchild, D.D., of New 
York City, and the Rev. John Humpstone, D.D., of 

7 



Brooklyn; T. A. Gill, D.D., who has long been 
Chaplain of the United States Navy ; A. J. Rowland, 
LL.D., Secretary of the American Baptist Publica- 
tion Society; and the late Rev. Robert Lowry, D.D., 
the renowned writer of Christian songs. At the bar 
are to be found such men as the late Hon. John I. 
Mitchell, formerly United States Senator from Penn- 
sylvania; the Hon. George P. Wilson, formerly 
Attorney-General of the State of Minnesota; the late 
Chauncey B. Ripley and Alfred Taylor, of the New 
York Bar; Hon. Ernest L. Tustin, of Philadelphia; 
Hon. Freeman G. Teed, of Los Angeles, Cal. ; ex- 
Congressmen Amerman, Shallenberger, Wolverton, 
Stahlnecker and Focht; and on the Bench the late 
Hon. Martin Bell, Hon. Harold M. McClure, Hon. 
Voris Auten, the Hon. Thomas J. Baldridge, the 
Hon. Albert W. Johnson, the Hon. L. S. Walter, 
the Hon. W. A. Hindman, and the Hon. A. M. 
Freas. 



THE FRATERNITIES AT BUCKNELL 
UNIVERSITY. 

PHI KAPPA PSI was the first Fraternity to en- 
ter Bucknell University, establishing her Pennsyl- 
vania Gamma Chapter in 1855. It was one of the 
first Chapters of the Fraternity, as it received the 
fifth Charter granted. For some years its existence 
was kept secret for fear of opposition from the Faculty. 
It prospered, however, until 1871 when it requested 
of the general Fraternity that its Charter be placed 
in the hands of the Alumni owing to the oppression 
of the Faculty, which had learned of its existence as 
well as that of the Chapters of Sigma Chi and 
Theta Delta Chi which in the meantime had entered 
the ihstitution. The Faculty required that every stu- 
dent upon entering College sign a pledge that he had 
not and would not join a Fraternity. In 1879, with 
the advent of a new President, a more liberal policy 
was pursued toward the Fraternities and in the fol- 
lowing year the Charter of Phi Kappa Psi was again 
entrusted to the active Chapter, since which time this 
Fraternity has occupied a prominent position in the 
Greek world at Bucknell. 

Sigma Chi established her Kappa Chapter at Buck- 
nell March 4, 1864. It was the outgrowth of a 
local secret society called Iota, which was founded 
in 1861 by seven students, among whom was the 
Rev. T. A. K. Gessler, D.D., who several years 

9 



later initiated Grover Cleveland into the Sigma Chi 
Fraternity. In 1 865 there were a number of theo- 
logical students in the Chapter, who believed that the 
continual state of opposition to the College authorities, 
in which the Chapter existed, was out of keeping v^th 
their profession. They argued that the only way to 
settle the trouble was to abolish the Chapter. A reso- 
lution to that effect was offered by them but was lost. 
Then followed fourteen long years of faculty persecu- 
tion. Every effort was made to root out all the Fra- 
ternities at Bucknell. During the first few years of 
faculty oppression the existence of Kappa as well 
as that of the other Fraternities was precarious, but 
after 1869 there was always a brave and faithful 
band about her altar. The Philadelphia Convention 
in 1870 was attended by Kappa in a body. The 
Chapter returned to Lewisburg with enthusiasm suffi- 
cient for every obstacle and bravely held their own 
until the beginning of the new regime, since which 
time Kappa Chapter has been in a prosperous con- 
dition. 

Theta Delta Chi established a Chapter in 1866, 
two years after the founding of the Chapter of Sigma 
Chi, but it could not withstand the Faculty persecu- 
tion of that time and died in 1871, the same year 
in which Phi Kappa Psi gave up her Charter to her 
Alumni. This is the only Fraternity that ever es- 
tablished a Chapter at Bucknell that has not survived 
to the present time. 

Phi Gamma Delta established her Delta Chapter 
January 28, 1882, after the days of Fraternity per- 

10 



secution at Bucknell were past. She, therefore, did 
not have the struggle in her early days that were the 
lot of her predecessors. She soon entered upon a 
successful career in which she has ever continued. 

No Fraternity then entered Bucknell for a period 
of more than eleven years, when on June 14, 1893, 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon established her Pennsylvania 
Zeta Chapter. This Fraternity has also had a suc- 
cessful career. 

The first Fraternity for women in the University 
was Pi Beta Phi, who established her Pennsylvania 
Beta Chapter in 1895. 

Kappa Sigma established her Alpha Phi Chapter 
December 11, 1 896, a detailed record of which is 
found in a succeeding chapter. 

The second Fraternity for women to enter Buck- 
nell was Delta Delta Delta, which estabHshed its 
Tau Chapter in 1 904. It grew out of a local 
women's society, called Theta Delta Psi, which had 
been in existence since March 10, 1897. 

The only national Class Fraternity at Bucknell 
is Theta Delta Tau, a Sophomore Fraternity, whose 
Delta Chapter was established in 1895. 

Since 1 899 a number of local Fraternities have 
been formed as follows: The Demosthenians 
(1899) ; Delta Theta Upsilon (1903) ; Sigma Tau 
(1908); Kappa Delta Phi ( 1 900— reorganized 
1 909) ; Alpha Sigma ( 1 909) ; The Forum (1910). 
Two local class organizations have also been formed 
since that time: Phi Delta Sigma, an uppper class 

11 



fraternity (1904), and The Corpuscles, a Senior 
society (1909). 

There are two Sororities in Bucknell Institute: Pi 
Phi, established October 9, 1888, and Delta Phi, 
established in 1 902. Beta Delta Pi, established Sep- 
tember 15, 1887, after a long existence became ex- 
tinct. 

In the Spring of 1 898 the Faculty passed a regula- 
tion to the effect that thereafter no student should 
be eligible to join a Fraternity until he should have 
completed, if a Freshman, his first year's work, or 
if a member of any other class or a special student, 
the equivalent of one year's work. This regulation 
has continued in effect to the present time to the 
mutual benefit of the Fraternities and the University. 

The various Chapters existing at Bucknell are all 
in a very prosperous condition and are a credit to the 
University and to the Fraternities of which they form 
a part.

ALPHA-PHI CHAPTER OF THE KAPPA 
SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

THE Alpha-Phi Chapter of the Kappa Sigma 
Fraternity was the outgrowth of a local Fra- 
ternity called Phi Epsilon, which was organized Janu- 
ary 15, 1895. The purpose of the Phi Epsilon so- 
ciety was well expressed in the Preamble to its Con- 
stitution in the following language: "We, the un- 
dersigned, realizing that man attains his broadest de- 
velopment when brought into close fellowship with 
his companions, do band ourselves together in a Fra- 
ternity for the purpose of extending to each other 
that brotherly love and sympathy which every man 
so much craves, and of helping each other so far as 
it may lay in our power, to reach the highest standard 
of manhood, socially, intellectually and morally. It 
is our further purpose to seek affiliation with some 
general College Fraternity." 

Phi Epsilon during the less than two years of its 
existence had a membership of twenty-two men and 
was very prominently represented in every form of 
student activity. A petition was presented by them 
to the Kappa Sigma Fraternity and on December 1 I , 
1896 the Alpha-Phi Chapter of the Kappa Sigma 
Fraternity was established at Bucknell University with 
the following Charter members: William Theodore 
Paullin, Jr., John Warren Davis, Albert William 
13 



Johnson, Merton Roscoe Collins, George Albert Jen- 
nings, Simon Ward Gilpin, Oliver John Decker, Ben- 
jamin Williams Griffith, George Edward Jenkinson, 
Jr., William Robert Morris, Saner Cook Bell and 
Arthur Dougherty Rees. The work of the installa- 
tion was entrusted by the Supreme Executive Com- 
mittee to Prof. G. Harold Powell, then W. G. M. 
C, of Cornell University, and J. Harry Covington, 
Esq., of Easton, Maryland, at that time Editor of 
the Caduceus and now a member of Congress from 
his native State. They were assisted by the Alpha- 
Delta Chapter of Pennsylvania State College. Hav- 
ing started the installation ceremonies at an early hour, 
the work was concluded by eleven o'clock and the 
members of the new Chapter, as well as the visiting 
brothers, wended their way to the Cameron House 
to partake of a very enjoyable banquet. Bro. J. 
Harry Covington presided and impromptu toasts were 
responded to by nearly every brother present. In 
the early hours of the morning this most delightful 
affair came to a close and a new Fraternity had en- 
tered the Greek world at Bucknell that was destined 
to thereafter play a very prominent part. No Fra- 
ternity ever started out at Bucknell with a more rep- 
resentative or enthusiastic body of men than did 
Alpha- Phi and nobly has she kept that proud posi- 
tion during the fifteen years of her existence. She 
embraced in those original twelve men four Com- 
mencement speakers, the winners of four prizes for 
scholarship, one foot-ball captain and five members 
of the Varsity team, two base-ball managers and two 
14

members of the team; the founder and first editor-in- 
chief of the Orange and Blue, the first business man- 
ager of the Orange and Blue, and an editor-in-chief 
of the Bucknell Mirror; and last but not least two of 
the present members of the Faculty of Bucknell Uni- 
versity. This is a record that would certainly be 
hard to duplicate by the men who compose a Chapter 
at any one time in any institution. 

The men were all enthusiastic and hard workers 
for the upbuilding of Alpha-Phi, but there are two 
men to whose unbounded enthusiasm and unremitting 
efforts in those early days is due much of the suc- 
cess of the Chapter. I refer to Bros. John Warren 
Davis and Merton Roscoe Collins. 

Bro. John Warren Davis was one of the most en- 
thusiastic and hardest workers Alphi-Phi ever had. 
He no sooner became a Fraternity man than he made 
himself thoroughly familiar with the history of every 
fraternity in the Greek world and studied their vari- 
ous problems, especially as they applied to his own 
Chapter. No effort was spared by him to advance 
the interests of any member of the Chapter or of 
the Chapter as a whole in the Institution. His re- 
markable enthusiasm and his ability as an organizer 
seemed to have impressed the Fraternity at large no 
less than the members of his own Chapter, for only 
two years after becoming a wearer of the Star and 
Crescent, at the Thirteenth Biennial National Con- 
clave of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity, held at Chata- 
nooga, Tennessee, on December 28, 29 and 30, 
IS 



1898, he was elected Worthy Grand Master of 
Ceremonies of the National Fraternity, a position 
which he filled with singular credit. He was Pro- 
fessor of Hebrew at the Crozer Theological Semi- 
nary for several years after graduation, after which 
he studied abroad, then finally returned and entered 
the Law School of the University of Pennsylvania, 
and is to-day a prominent member of the bar of 
both the States of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. 

Bro. Merton Roscoe Collins was a very close sec- 
ond in enthusiasm and as a worker for his Chapter 
to Bro. Davis. He was one of the ablest and most 
popular men that Alpha-Phi ever had, and one of 
the most brilliant and promising men ever graduated 
from Bucknell University. He was a great student, 
a great athlete, and above all else a prince of good 
fellows. During his entire course he was one of the 
stars on the foot-ball team. He was Manager of the 
base-ball team. He was the founder and first Edi- 
tor-in-Chief of the Orange and Blue. On January 
22, 1897, he represented Bucknell in an Inter- 
collegiate Debate with Franklin and Marshall Col- 
lege and won the same for his College. At gradua- 
tion in 1 898 he was a Commencement speaker and 
the winner of the first Psychology Prize. After 
graduation he entered the Law Offices of the Hon. 
Henry Clay McCormick, formerly Attorney-General 
of Pennsylvania, at Williamsport, Pennsylvania, as 
a student. He had been there but a few months be- 
fore the accident occurred on November 6, 1898, 
which cost him his life. It was on the occasion of 

16 



the annual foot-ball game between Bucknell and her 
old rival, Pennsylvania State College, and the game 
was played at WilHamsport. After the game, as 
the train was leaving the station, Collins was on the 
same bidding good-bye to his host of friends, and 
was delayed so long in getting off by the crowded 
condition of the coaches that the train had gotten 
under a good degree of speed when he leaped for the 
platform but was thrown beneath the wheels and 
run over and died shortly thereafter at the Williams- 
port Hospital, without ever having regained conscious- 
ness. He was the first member of Alpha- Phi Chapter 
to enter the City of the Dead. 

There is one other to whom, although not a mem- 
ber of the Fraternity and in fact one of the most 
enthusiastic and prominent members of one of Alpha- 
Phi's chief rivals, the Chapter during its early days 
is much indebted. I refer to William Christian Gretz- 
inger, then Registrar of Bucknell University and Edi- 
tor of the Phi Kappa Psi Shield. It is a sincere 
pleasure to pay tribute to the interest and the good 
will which one of the leaders of a rival Chapter ever 
manifested in Alpha-Phi Chapter and especially in 
her early days, when it was doubly appreciated and 
of great value. William Christian Gretzinger was 
the first Registrar of Bucknell University and al- 
though he held that most difficult and responsible po- 
sition for a period of twenty years, from 1 889 to the 
date of his death, February 1 8, 1 909, there was no 
student who attended the institution during this long 
period who did not call him his friend. This was 

17 



during the period of the greatest growth of Bucknell 
University and to his efforts no less than to Buck- 
nell's great President, Dr. Harris, must be attributed 
her remarkable growth and success. The memory of 
William Christian Gretzinger is no less revered by 
the members of Alpha-Phi Chapter in its early days 
than it is by the members of the Fraternity in which 
he always took so much interest and pride. Phi 
Kappa Psi. 

The first quarters occupied by the Chapter were 
located in the Harrison Building, at the corner of 
Third and Market streets. They continued to oc- 
cupy these rooms until September, 1901, when they 
went into their present suite of rooms in an adjacent 
building on Market street, directly opposite the Post 
Office. These rooms are very tastefully furnished 
and will probably continue to be occupied by them 
for some time, as the College authorities have never 
encouraged the Chapter House idea at Bucknell. As 
a consequence nearly all the Chapters simply maintain 
a nicely furnished suite of rooms down town, and 
room in the various College Dormitories. 

Basket-ball was introduced at Bucknell by a mem- 
ber of Alpha-Phi Chapter — Bro. Charles Firth. He 
was foot-ball manager at the time, and introduced 
the game principally to keep the foot-ball men in 
good physical condition during the winter when the 
weather would not permit outdoor practice. As be- 
fore stated, the Orange and Blue was also founded 
by a Kappa Sigma, Bro. Collins starting it and be- 
18 



ing its first Editor-in-Chief, with Bro. Gilpin as its 
first Business Manager. 

Alpha-Phi claims to a certain extent to be the 
sponsor of one of the best Chapters of the Kappa 
Sigma Fraternity — that of Beta-Alpha, at Brown 
University. This Chapter was established February 
22, 1 898, by Bros. John Warren Davis and George 
Edward Schilling, under the direction of the Supreme 
Executive Committee. So that Alpha-Phi has al- 
ways taken a special interest in the achievements of 
Beta-Alpha. Bro. Morris also became one of the 
founders of Beta-Mu Chapter at a later date at the 
University of Minnesota. 

The Bucknell Chapter also brought itself promi- 
nently before the Fraternity at large on the occasion 
of the Eighteenth Biennial National Conclave, held 
at Denver, Colorado^ in 1908, when they received 
the silver loving cup offered to the Chapter having 
the best representation at the Conclave, taking into 
account both the number of its representatives and 
the distance travelled by them to reach the Conclave. 
Alpha-Phi was represented by Bros. Baldwin, W. 
S., Spang, Hogsett, Harris, J. C, Way, Beemer 
and Iseman. 

A symposium has been held annually on the Tues- 
day evening of Commencement Week, which has al- 
ways been well attended by the Alumni. This cus- 
tom has been followed ever since the Chapter has 
been in existence. It formerly was held out of town 
but in some town near Lewisburg, having been held 
19 



several times in Milton, Sunbury and Williamsport. 
Owing to the disinclination of the Alumni to leave 
Lewisburg again immediately after they have come 
back for Commencement, it has been regularly held 
in recent years at the New Cameron House. These 
annual reunions about the festive board have always 
been very delightful occasions for both the Alumni 
and the active Chapter. 

The Chapter up to the present time has had one 
hundred and eighteen initiates and three affihates. It 
has not been the aim of Alpha-Phi to have either a 
large or a small Chapter, but to preserve what might 
be called a golden mean for Bucknell, of from twelve 
to fifteen men. The smallest Chapter she ever had was 
during the school year 1 898-9. That fall but three 
men returned — Bros. Griffith, Schilling and the 
writer. Two more men were shortly added to the 
list, Bros. Meschter and Hottenstein, and at the end 
of the year, which was the first under the one-year 
residence rule, Bro. Harvey was also taken into the 
Chapter. Lack of numbers, whenever it has occurred 
and it occurs at times in the history of every Chap- 
ter, has always been made up in Alpha-Phi by the 
enthusiasm and determination of those remaining in 
the active Chapter and the loyal support of her 
Alumni. 

There is no form of student activity in which 
Alpha-Phi Chapter during the fifteen years of her 
existence has not always had her representatives. Be- 
cause of her remarkable record in so short a time it

may be of interest as well as of profit to briefly re- 
view the same. From the standpoint of scholarship, 
she has had during this time eight Commencement 
speakers (Davis, J. W., Brown, Johnson, Collins, 
Lindemann, Decker, Davis, J., and Bostwick). She 
has four times taken the Tustin Psychology Prize 
(Brown, Collins, Lindemann and Bostwick) ; three 
times taken the Class of *71 Prize (Lindemann, 
Decker and Davis, J.) ; twice taken the Freshman 
Essay Prize (Lindemann and Decker) ; three times 
taken the Freshman Declamation Prize (Lindemann, 
Shrum and Velte) ; once taken the Hollopeter Chem- 
istry Prize (Koons) ; furnished three representatives in 
Intercollegiate Debate (Collins, Bostwick and Velte) ; 
and lastly has furnished four members of the Faculty 
of Bucknell University (Brown, Johnson, Lindemann 
and Griffith.) Bro. Brown is no longer a member of 
the Faculty but is now practicing medicine at Franklin, 
Pennsylvania, of which City he has served one term 
as Mayor. 

In the field of College Journalism she has twice 
had the Editor-in-Chief of the Bucknell Mirror (Lin- 
demann and Decker) ; twice that of U Agenda (Mc- 
Giffin and Bostwick) ; besides always having repre- 
sentatives on both Boards as assistant editors or 
artists. Bro. Collins, as before stated, was also the 
founder and first Editor-in-Chief of the Orange and 
Blue, and Bro. Gilpin the first Business Manager 
and later also an Editor-in-Chief of the same. 

In Athletics, Alpha-Phi has always played a large 
part. In foot-ball she has furnished three Captains 
21 



(Jenkinson, Cockill and O'Brien) ; five Managers 
(Cregar, Firth, Kech, Velte and McAnulty), and 
a large number of members of the Varsity (among 
whom were Firth, Davis, Collins, Jennings, Griffith, 
Jenkinson, Catterall, Morris, Senn, Binns, Cockill, 
Sheppard, Neill, Winbigler, Baldwin, C. H., 
O'Brien, Shoop, Beemer, Frampton, Wickham, Croop, 
Harris, B. T., McDonough, Tyson and Kerstetter). 
In base-ball she has furnished five Captains (Cregar, 
Catterall, Milligan, Cockill and O'Leary) ; three 
Managers (CoUins, Caruthers and Haggerty), and 
a large number of players (among whom were Cre- 
gar, Griffith, Jenkinson, Catterall, Milligan, Cockill, 
Taylor, C. H., Blair, Townsend and O'Leary). 
In basket-ball she has four times had the Captaincy 
(Cockill, O'Brien twice, and Harris, J. C.) ; had 
two Managers (Griffith and Bittenbender) , and a 
large number of players (Morris, Catterall, Cockill, 
Harris, J. C, Butcher, Croop, Townsend, O'Brien 
and Reber). She has also had numberous repre- 
sentatives on and Managers of the track athletic teams, 
as well as on the Tennis teams. 

Alpha-Phi Chapter has not aimed to get scholars 
or athletes or any other particular class of students. 
She has rather chosen to follow the advice of Bayard 
Taylor to a certain Fraternity, "Get a scholar if 
you can, get a gentleman always, but whomever you 
get, get good fellows.'*
